Problems In American Legal Methodology, Stephen Utz Jul 2012

Problems In American Legal Methodology, Stephen Utz

Stephen Gerard Utz

The obsession of common-law scholars and jurists with analogy, the apparent bedrock of stare decisis, has obscured our vision of the actually quite varied patterns of legal reasoning, even as we ourselves practice it. The problem is that analogy is too capacious a concept to be used effectively in defining a single sort of inference or analysis. This article advocates a more discriminating use of the concept of analogy, drawing on German methodological thought.

Exile On Main Street: Competing Traditions And Due Process Dissent, Colin Starger Jul 2012

Exile On Main Street: Competing Traditions And Due Process Dissent, Colin Starger

Recent work by notable empirical scholars proposes to measure the influence of dissents by reference to their subsequent citation in case law. This Article challenges the theoretical basis for this empirical approach and argues that it fails to account for the profound influence that uncited dissents have exerted in law. To overcome this gap in the empirical approach, this Article proposes an alternative method that permits analysis of contextual and …

Constitutional And Religious Redemption: Assessing Jack Balkin's Call For A 'Constitutional Project’, Linda C. Mcclain Jul 2012

Constitutional And Religious Redemption: Assessing Jack Balkin's Call For A 'Constitutional Project’, Linda C. Mcclain

Faculty Scholarship

I begin with a disclaimer: I am not a constitutional theorist. I haven’t even played one on TV. But according to Professor Jack Balkin’s ambitious new book Living Originalism, that should not stop me from engaging in what he calls “the constitutional project,” in which I, along with others, attempt to interpret – indeed, to redeem – the U.S. constitution.1 Living Originalism pairs two intriguing ideas: a “constitutional project” and “constitutional redemption.” I am excited by the notion of a project, and of a constitutional project in particular. In my work for at least a decade I have used the …
